Director's Message
________________________________

Dear Students:

Welcome to the new school year. I hope this message finds you in good health and that all of you started the semester with a positive attitude.  Like your respective high schools, Upward Bound has adjusted the way we communicate with students and the way we deliver our services.  I am very excited about these changes and look forward to the opportunity of helping you achieve your educational goals.

Upward Bound will continue to deliver our services in a virtual/online format, which include academic advising, study hall, Saturday Sessions, field trips, and cultural activities.
Fall semester highlights:

  *   Expanded study hall/tutoring hours
  *   Virtual Saturday Sessions
  *   Virtual field trips and activities focused on STEM, health & wellbeing, history, and art
  *   College application workshops for Seniors

Though the medium has changed (zoom, google platforms, etc.), our primary goals will stay intact. And those goals are, for all students to complete the A-G requirements and for seniors to enroll in a college or university upon graduating from high school.

 If you have specific questions, please contact your Assistant Director.

Sincerely,

Albaro Martin
Director
Office of TRIO – Pre-College Programs
